TAKE ACTION NOW!

The Ohio House of Representatives has removed lupus funding from the budget. Without this funding, the Lupus Foundation of America, Greater Ohio Chapter will face a critical shortage which will result in decreased patient services, reduced funding for food, medical, and transportation assistance, and economic instability for patients that rely on the Lupus Foundation of America, Greater Ohio Chapter’s support. It may even result in the closure of the Chapter.

Lupus Ohio Year End Giving

The Walk To End Lupus Now® in Cleveland has been postponed until Saturday, September 6th.
The safety and enjoyment of our patients, fundraisers, volunteers, and vendors are always the highest priority. Unfortunately, Mother Nature quite literally rained on our parade, and attempts to find a suitable indoor venue proved unsuccessful.
While having to postpone is disappointing, it also provides an amazing opportunity to continue to fundraise to support research and our mission-critical programs and services! The walk page will be updated to reflect the new date, and all fundraising deadlines will be extended.
We thank all of you for dedicating your time and effort to making the Cleveland Walk To End Lupus Now® successful and look forward to seeing everyone in September!
